I'm glad someone uses my ideas. So far I'm satisfied with the whole jeep. If I had to do it again maybe I would go with a bit of higher lift, but otherwise I can follow TJ's on 35 without problem. Next mod will be probably an Aussie for the rear, but this will be for next year.
The low COG is amazing. I can go in the woods, twisting my way around stumps and rocks and this XJ is very stable.
One word for you, skidplate. Everything you can think of underneath your XJ will touch the ground one day or the other at that height, so build some skid.
I also manage to destroy the crossmember, so here is the thread for this and other skids

Is that a Dana 35 I see peeking out of there? If so, you might want to look into fixing that...

I like it! I like it a lot! Pretty impressive for a first welding project, mine was UGLY.
PS: I'd look into some new shocks and swaybar linkages... yours look nearly as bad as mine were until recently. The swaybar linkages snapped on me, $15 for a brand new pair (and takes 10min to install); the shocks made an amazing difference in ride quality, and you already went through the floor for the rear shocks, so you don't even have to worry about that hassle... OEM equivalents cost $17 each.
PPS: jasonsxj I have to say... I agree. Learn to use punctuation properly. Just sayin'.

I'll run it in the trail this Saturday. I'm not worried at all. About the swaybar links, I used them for my disconnect, so as long as they hold, they will stay like that. For the shocks in the rear I have some new ones (comanche rears) and for now in the front those are the original ones. I got a pair of 2 inch lift shocks for TJ, maybe I'll put them on one day.

Funny thing is that I went in the woods with a friend of mine, and I broke one link, Had to drive home disconnected, and quite franckly, it is not bad at all.

No problem on doing that. I got slight rub up front, so maybe I'll add 1/2 inch of bumpstop. The rear does not rub.
To attach the flare to the door, it is all with bolts and nuts. remove the cover on the side of the cargo bay, and you need tiny hands to go bolts the flare, but it is feasible
